In cases where there must be multiple (back-to-back) expectations within a test case, it is preferable to use `aggregate_failures`.

## Prefer `aggregate_failures` when there are multiple expectations
In cases where there must be multiple expectations within a test case, it is preferable to use `aggregate_failures`.
This allows you to group a set of expectations and see all the failures altogether, rather than having the test being aborted on the first failure.

Attach the `:aggregate_failures` metadata to the example if multiple expectations are separated by statements.
```ruby
#=> Good
it 'searches', :aggregate_failures do
Page::Search::Results.perform do |search|
expect(search).to have_file_in_project(template[:file_name], project.name)
search.switch_to_code
expect(search).to have_file_with_content(template[:file_name], content[0..33])

## Prefer to split tests across multiple files
Our framework includes a couple of parallelization mechanisms that work by executing spec files in parallel.
